[@xcasper96]

Mr. Sutherland would honestly make a great president in real life. This show is bad ass.

[@simpleasflip]

Yes please

[@mikaelleonbriones6356]

I mean Reagan was an actor able to pull it off, I'm sure Sutherland can do it, President Sutherland

[@ibkristykat]

He's very much socialist in his beliefs but i agree. He's more logical than most in politics. Except however socialism doesn't work. Someone has to pay for everything. You get blow back when you work hard and most of what you make is given to those who do nothing, then no one works toward greatness as their hard work gets bastardized

[@seanpruitt6801]

@@ibkristykat I know this is nine months late. But there is a fine line between socialism and capitalism they have to balance each other. The economy doesn’t work at its full potential without the two working together

i am glad i clicked to checked out this show on netflix by accident. the best show right now!

[@KamalikaMukherjee81]

I just finished binge-watching the series. I think everyone in the series is terrific but Kiefer Sutherland has really, really won my heart. And after this interview, it seems that he is an incredibly humble and decent human being himself which reflected in the humanity that shines through Tom Kirkman's leadership. Also, mad respect for Kal Penn, for putting his country over his career. Most importantly, being a government bureaucrat myself, this show made me introspect about the nature of leadership, about the dilemmas and the stress, and the personal sacrifices that often go unseen, about the righteous fury we are supposed to feel in the face of greed and corruption and political partisanship but often fail to do, about our own duty towards our country...just as Mr. Sutherland points out. It does make me THINK. That's what makes it great in my eyes. Kudos to the creators including the actors and every individual associated with the project to bring out such a thought-provoking yet entertaining drama that mirrors the reality yet gives us a hint of an ideal!

[@luisavina4831]

Last night around 9 pm I told my dad about Designated Survivor (I had already seen it but my dad hadn’t), he loves these kind of shows let’s just say he ended up watching 6 episodes in a row😂

[@aryasingh187]

I just finished all the seasons. I wish they could bring back with season 4

[@jonasbennett9237]

This show is awesome! Nicely done Kiefer.

[@tumuafaasua7642]

WOW...I love this TV series!!! I cannot believe I watched this whole two season series in 48hours. Maggie Q, Kiefer Sutherland, Michael J Fox and the rest of cast were outstanding. One of my favorite shows to watch now on Netflix. More seasons please. Story lines are excellent!!! Keep up the great and fantastic work.

[@michaelmallory2926]

Tumua Faasua well you must have stayed awake for 2 days straight and Pee’d in a bottle then lol.

[@peterjohnson3006]

This is a great show!! Go Keifer!!

[@sherigilmore9141]

Oh I truly loved this show I wish it could of stayed on for more seasons. If Kiefer Sutherland ever ran for President I would vote for him.

[@rodneylewisjr2917]

Kiefer is one of my favorite actors

[@avocadosandalmonds4221]

the show just barely started. I'm sure kiefer sutherland doesn't want to have the public still see him as jack Bauer. completely different show, and character. also this character was not really ment to be president so that is why he appears weak and has no idea what to do. I'm sure as the show goes on We will see a much stronger president character. I think kiefer sutherland is doing a very good job as always. can't wait to see what happens next.

[@Coalemos]

Yea, just leave it to the other actors to do all the Jack Bauery stuff.

[@KingMondoWWM]

avocados and almond's yeah it's a very interesting show because much like 24 itself, this new show is throwing us a curve ball. Even though he's not a government agent in this show does not mean the show isn't good. It's actually almost like an accompaniment of 24 where we see some presidents make the hardest decisions but maintain their composure which is seen with David Palmer, a good friend of Jack's. Essentially this is a show about the other side of the chaos we know so we'll from 24nwhere different things happen and the political drama is really focused on. That's what makes it unique.

[@carlettagoodrich-mann1377]

KS is a great characteristic . His voice has a soothing algorithm. His love for history deems him adaptable for stately manor. Domestic as well as foreign issues are covered with narratives denoted as a faucet for reality taking licenses for reality. CAL PENN White House experience helps to make these events authentic.

[@hildasandifer6933]

In coming off from watching the phenomenal 24 this is an absolute wonderful treat to keep the momentum going watching designated survivor Kiefer Sutherland is absolutely phenomenally exceptionally great in this continuing drama designated survivor With its 24 overtones it is still keeping me on my toes with unexpected surprises and heart wrenching reveals of who is really the enemy of the president My head is off to the riders and to the actors within this many drama you are an asset to our world

Please make more this is a great show. Please have more seasons...

[@JoeBartlett]

mae simon cancelled

[@mikaelleonbriones6356]

Sadly it has been cancelled for more season, but in the long term that is good, you see, what producers always get wrong is that when their shows - like House of Cards - become popular, they make more and more seasons until there is like 6 or 7 seasons and in the future when the hype dives down, people who discover the show won't be likely to watch it all with the whole season thingy

[@sandrinesugden4001]

I loveee this show. Hype for season 3!!!! Ily keifer 🖤

[@KajolKhan-qj5ne]

I was hyped for s3 too, but except from the campaign, the other woke sh*t was meh, i'm glad it ended quickly and what a shame to end this way for what could have been one of the greatest shows out there, right there with The west wing!

I NEVER THOUGHT I´D SEE YOU AGAIN IN MY LIFE, WHEN SUDDENLY, YOU PULLED THIS RABBIT OUT OF THE MAGICIAN HAD, DESIGNATED SURIVITOR SERIES WITH NETFLIX! I WANNA THAN YOU SO MUCH ONCE AGAIN FOR SUCH A GREAT SHOW SERIES AND HOPE YOU KEEP ON DOING THIS AND REINVENTING THE SCRIPT FOR ANOTHER 8 SEASONS SAME AS 24! WOW! THIS IS GREAT TO THE DETAILS! THANK YOU, PRODUCERS, DIRECTORS, ACTORS AND SCRIPTWRITTERS, CASTING AND ALL CREW! HUGE FAN OF YOURS! THANKS FOR THIS NICE WORK AND ENTERTAINMENT! CHEERS FROM ME! MICHAEL BRESLOW, A HORRIBLE SCRIPTWRITTER FROM SAO PAULO BRAZIL WHO WRTOE THE DEVIL´S RACE, KING SHARK, PLANET SHARK, THE RETURN OF SPACE SHARKS, THE K-BOMBS, RAYNA BUTTERFLY AND WGA REGISTERED THESE SCRIPTS IN THS US LIBRARY OF CONGRESS. THEY ARE NICE, BUT NOTHING WHEN COMPARED TO YOUR SERIES. IF YOU WANNA PRODUCE A FILM WITH EITHER OF THE SCRIPTS I MENTIONED, LET ME KNOW. THEY WOULD NEED REWRITTING BY AN AMERICAN SCRIPTWRITTER SINCE I USED FINAL DRAFT ADN I´M NOT THAT GOOD. FOR NOW, THANKS FOR YOUR DESIGNATED SURVIVOR! CHEERS!

[@stevekirby5546]

I just finished watching the entire 3 seasons. Seasons 1 & 2 were awesome, I could not get enough. Season 3 sucked, no Mike, Kendra, Lyor & Trey, they killed off my favorite from the show, Hannah. Way too much cussing, showing sex scenes and actually kissing between gay men is disgusting, bringing in topics on Transgenders. I'm sorry that is not normal behavior, this younger generation brain washed believing it is normal behavior. Normal People have issues if they have no problem watching Men or Women in sex scenes or actually kissing on TV, I had to look away and my wife said out loud disgusting because that is a normal response. Please do not say what is normal people because anyone should know what that is.

[@Amnesia2Morrow]

6:26 "The lack of respect that I have seen for the office of the presidency is I think something sad." I wonder if Kiefer recorded ths interview before or after Trump's win. I wonder if he still holds that opnion. Hopefully when someone actually reads this comment there will be a new President, that can restore some 'respect' to the office of the presidency.
